    Hurðaskellir

    When I first put this on, I mostly get a really strong lavender and a little bit of fresh carnation. The sharpness of the lavender is kinda jarring to me (and somehow seems to easily invoke door slamming imagery in my head ). However, this first stage lasts for just a moment, and afterwards, wow, how I love this! The lavender fades and the patchouli takes center stage, mixing in with the carnation, and turning this into the nicest patchouli dominated scent I've smelled since Lush's Amazonian massage bar (sort of fresh and spicy). Seriously, that massage bar scent used to make me feel so cozy, and this has the exact same effect. And regarding fir and mint, I generally love both, but neither one ever comes to the foreground for me in this (and I usually amp fir-type scents). I think they must just be somewhere in the background, quietly making this scent even better. I am extremely glad to have a bottle of this.

    The Last Evening of the Year

    When LEotY just arrived (and was still cold from outside) I sniffed the bottle and said, "sharp and maybe a little generic." It has since grown on me, to be one of my current favorite bpals. I get linen and a hint of flowers (maybe rose, but it's not distinct). There's also a tiny bit of the "snow" note that I've gotten in other winter-type bpals, but hardly any. Basically, I like this scent because it's the best fresh laundry scent I've ever smelled. I used to love Dirty, but now it seems to burn my nose slightly...this works well as a go-to for when Dirty is too much. I rarely buy two bottles of any bpal scent, but I'm seriously considering a back-up of this.
